He got a special escort from Louisville firefighters, who hosted their annual holiday party for the children there.

The department has been collecting donations all year to pay for the holiday party.

The money helps pay for Christmas presents, a disk jockey, a magician and lunch for everyone.

"You come here and you see these kids here for the holidays, not their family, and it makes you think about doing something more for them, working to help make their Christmas a little bit better," said Maj. Richard Haynes with the Louisville Fire Department.

The Louisville Fire Department hosts the longest running party at the Home of the Innocents.

Firefighters also help with an Easter egg hunt for the children in the spring.
